In June and July I worked furiously on a series of drawings and etchings depicting my pain. I used a variety of symbols and graphic shapes which is how I visualize my pain; it is always hovering in the space around me, lurking overhead, it strikes swiftly like a shot from a gun, without warning, and the impact is penetrating and intense. After I finished these etchings I had some severe pain flares and decided the etchings were a fairly tame depiction of my pain and that it is very difficult to translate any pain via art. However I do know that my pain is an experience that will continue to influence my art at a conscious and subconscious level the same as any other major life changing experience.To see more of my art work relating to pain go towww.rosemaryeagle.com

Important to feature these works for what they represent and for the expressive techniques. They are dynamic Ro.
